0.50l can. Aroma is grainy, floral and fruity. Pours clear golden color with medium sized soapy white head, nice lacing and average sparkling appearance. Taste starts sweet malty and syrupy, following is a bit spiced and herbal, mouthfeel is warm alcoholic, while finish is average bitter. Medium body, syrupy texture and average carbonation in palate. Neither black nor explosive…

0,5 l can. Pours golden with small, quickly dissipating white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, slightly spicy and quite fruity. Flavor follows aroma in general. Body is surprisingly light for ABV. Alcohol is almost entirely hidden. Finish is sweet, very long, a hint of rum even.

cleargolden colour, one inch of dense, sticky ecru-ish white head; aroma of apple, grape, grainy, hay and some honey notes; taste is dominated by malty-sugar syrupy-honey-like sweetness and some sweet apples, as well as minimal metallic notes...ok, it is not that bad, but it has a note in the label stating 'black spiced'...and it is neither black nor has any kind of black (or any other) spices in its aroma or taste (moreover, this statement is not even supported by the ingredients) - so it is quite misleading but all in all not as bad as malt liquors are in general
